The chkconfig program I think first came with Irix, but it was in the
early Red Hat Linux 4.x days that Erik Troan (IIRC) re-implemented that
interface from scratch as free software, and then we extended it quite
a bit to make it a lot more useful.  But I think that the
chkconfig servicename off
syntax is part of the orignial syntax; even if it isn't, it has been
part of Red Hat's implementation for donkey's years...

man chkconfig -- it's a wonderful little time-saver.  And it's SOOO
much harder to make a mistake with it and not notice than it is when
manually playing about with init scripts.
